We have a chicken and an egg type of question for you. Which is more important, the goal or the journey? We would say in order to have a good journey you must first have a goal. Except what happens when, while on your journey, because of what you have learned about yourself and about the situations around you, your goal changes? Does a meandering path mean the time spent on Earth is any less valid? No. No, not at all. You have never, in an instant's time been off of your path.
